well
i think that it is just a temporally
situation as they new for this life you know new friends new home new society but give them a year then they will be more plucky than American students.
thanks.
I think not all Asian students are shy but most of them are shy it is because of the culture. In class we respect teacher and listen to the teacher. But this is influenced by the teacher who is taking the class if the teacher is friendly to the students, students won't be shy.
I think not all Asian student are shy, because someone try to learn english.
Then if they shy, they can't well in english.
And I think teacher will take care of the student who want to well in english but they were shy.
I think the educational background are related to compose the shyness no matter where we live or who we are.Through my experience of studyabroad, I obviously found out difference how to teach and learn between North America and Japan. Most of the time Japanese teacher prefer to being sceience during classroom. In oppsite, most of student are so positive and always debating in their class when I was in North Amrica. That was tough to me.Not because of I am shy but too different to adjust such a new circomstance!(I got used to the way somehow:-))As my opinion,basically Japanese(anyone alse in Asia)are not shy.The way being taught may divide into shy or not.
Well, you are right. It depends on the educational background. In my school day, we just listened about teacher’s speaking sitting on the chair. There were a few relationships between teachers and students. However, nowadays teachers try to contact their students and have a conversation during class. So I think Asian students are changing more active.
i think ... already asian student in school more listen to speaking teacher and little speaking about topics of lesson.thus students were shy. but today students more common in topic lesson and tell their thought on topic of lesson.
It is safe to say that Asian students are more shy than Western countries' students.
I believe culture is the most important reason. Like Chinese emphasize rank a lot in the history comparing to equality, freedom and creation which are points for western people.
However, Asian people become more open and confident and would like to show themselves more and more. I think that is because the influence of western culture as well as the need of society.
i think that because of asian students shy is causing by maladjust. they loss old friend.
so maybe they having a terms. this term ended they become confidence students.
I think the reason why Asian students are shy is they are used to being quite in class,especially when teacher is saying something.
From my experience, students are not allowed to make noise at all when teacher is saying in class. If someone made a noise, he is punished by teacher. That kind of atmostphere makes students feel far away from teachers or even afraid of them. This is the way asian students have been learned by and why many students don't feel comfortable with teachers.
In this situation, it is no wonder that students hesitate to reveal themselves in class.
In addtion, the young asian students' way of looking at the very active presenter in class is different from that of America.
Asia is of collectivist societies. Hormony in group is considered very important and showing off is not seen good way. I think this cultural factor makes most students prefere to be one of commom students.
I think that a person being shy has more to do with the enviorment rather then it being inherited.for example if a shy person moves to an area were people are rude he will have to eventually react ,in a way to defend himself and finnaly be rude himself. so i think it has to do more with the enviorment...
Well i really think thats true its all beacuse of the educational backgound which asian students do really face. they dont get the individual attention and they have a large no of students in a class which doesn't allow the teacher to improve their interpersonel skills and groom them up.......
Thats why they remain shy through out thier lives
I'm a shying student and I'm really afraid of speaking up in the class. I think the reason is the way of education, too. I was affected by the teachers and their methods in teaching, they talk all the time and we're just the person who answer their questions sometimes. Another reason is the classmates. We tend to mimic others, so if we see everybody in the class to be in quiet and obeying to the teacher absolutely, we don't want to be weird, we don't want to be known as show-off people so we'll like everybody, always be quiet and be shy when speaking up. I think the best way to change this situation is to make the atmosphere of the class more friendly and ebullient, making more discussions about some specific topics to help the shy students express their ideas.
I really like talking in class, I mean expressing myself to my teachers and classmates. But sometimes I feel a bit shy and hard to do that in some subjects. Anyway, English class is the one I like most because I find that I'm more confident when speaking in English than in Vietnamese.
I think perhaps it is a kind of modesty that looks like shyness and maybe also a kind of humbleness, which I think is good in the beginning of a new relationship
I'm a Asian so i think that when i comment to this subject it will be neaer with the fact.
In the frist time go to school(junior school),Teachers taught children have to follow somebody's advice. So when they don't do like this, they will be punished.
When they younger,This habits makes them become shy and dont want to talk about their opinions negative with another, because they scare it's wrong.
But, not all of people like that. Having ones very conffident about themself.
The solution to changes this situation i think first think is teacher should make the children talk their opinons.And to correct if wrong. And we can excercise ourself the skill when talk in crowd.
Asians are shy because they are not in their native land. So, I think they are just thinking they should act in a respectful manner. Educational background is also a factor because maybe they are thinking that their American classmates came from a very standard school compare to them. So, they think that Americans are better to them.
I don't believe in that students are naturally shy. It is the effect of their culture, Background and environment. Teachers have to encourage shy students to participate in a class. Teachers have to devlelope differnt methods which helps those students.Parents also have to support their children and take them to differnt activties which helps them to teach to interact with people.
The characteristics of a person determined by the surroundings that he or she lives in it.
Because of the fact that shyness is a fruit of culture that we learn from birth till the end of life. Asian people live in a politeness and respectfulness to the others.
Thats why they are a little shy and they think the Americans behave rudely.
Hello, good afternoon!
My name is Fatima, living in Brazil, city Salvador, Bahia, and I am doing the course in English, but have difficulty in pronunciation and would if possible exchange ideas with you on tips from English.
Querendo visit my blog: www.fatimavida.blogspot.com
Love,

I live in a Asia's country. I suppose Asian student is not shy, but they are not very dynamic in studying. However, access the Internet and influence of new method, they are trying to show own idea in class. Thus, the relationship between student and teacher is more close.

so i think that it does not depends on the nation (American or Asian), it more depends on character of a person. But as i studied at the University i saw that rude students got best results than shy ones. As for me, i'm a shy person but almost everytime i had good results without cheating as many rude students did
i think the reason of shy student is not only culture and educational background but also it depends on thier teacher s teaching method and parents.so teachers and parents must take care of them.
I think that Asia student are really shier than American students. But it is temporary situation. When Asia student get accustomed to this type of behaviour they will be more plucky than other students, because they are very adaptable.
First I have to thank you for a wonderful site, you created.Secondly i think the teacher is responsibly for this thing to encourage student to share their ideas and thoughts.i know it is not easy to start speaking second language beside people without feeling shy because you think they will judge you for any mistake but after you will be ok with language will speak without thinking.that's my comment.Thanks
Firstly, thank you for this wonderful site.
Secondly, I think every country has shy people. Many Asian student are not shy.In fact,their english are not very well and they are afaid of having mistakes.For example, they are misapprehended when they talk to foreigners. Furthermore, they are talk with English speakers a long time and foreigners don't know what they said.
In brief, if their english are very well they will be more pluckier than American students.
Thank you.

Firstly, hello everybody!
I think, everybody who speaks a little bit English is shy, because it's difficult express your feelings. Don't you thinks so?
Hi, everybody. This is my access in this site. My English is poor but I'm really excited with its tools to learn English.
I really hope that shy is temporally situation, because I've been studiyng English for 2 years and I still can't feel free to speak English. But I'll continue trying.
i think that the culture is different but is a rich culture
i think it is true. if an american student go to a country in asia, and he/she tries to learn its native language, probably he/she will be shy as much as the asian students living in the u.s. it is normal. at the same time, this situation makes foreign students have some difficulties during the learning process. dont shy, just talk..!
Asian Students are not shy specially those fluently speaks English.. Some are shy maybe because they don't speak the English language well....
I agree about that Asian students are sye. For Example, I have been learning English the U.S.A. So many people is Korean in my class. When my teacher try to talk with them, their face become as like a red tomato. Even though, they can't not speak English very well, the other students who are not Asian are more artivity than Asian. If Asian is in full activity, they will be getting better to learn English.
In my opinion we can't classify students behavior depending on their geographical distribution only.
but maybe other factors are more important like student age stage, family education and their circumstances, class room atmosphere , teacher characteristic, student's psychological healthy.

First,I think that it's about the culture in each countries.Like the asian students,some of them need to respect the elder person and do not interrupt while they're speaking or teaching.It sometimes makes the students lose their confidence.I think now the education system has been changed,the students have more confident to make the opinions in classes.It's better.
Second,I think it's about their own habits,neither of the asian students is shy.
I'm an Asian student and I don't think all the Asian students are naturaly shy.
We may seem to be shy in English class because most of us couldn't speak good English.Maybe the teacher is so serious that we are afraid to speak out.
On the other hand,some students are shy by origin.It's no matter if he/she is an Asian.
This website is a very wonderful web i have never seen. I just want to thank the initiator for his hard work making this for especially foreign people. I bit he knows how hard it is to learn a new language. Thanks very much...
i think there are so many reasons about this. one reason that is the individual's personality. some are perfectionist who will not do something that they think will not work well. since english is not their mother's language, they will study hard to have good skill first before they speak publicly.
As a asian student, i think the culture background is an important reason. as a child, we are often told to listen carefully to the treacher's word. And, only with teacher's permission, we can stand up and answer the questions that teachers asked. if we made mistakens, the teacher would criticize us why not hard work, and then they would let another one that they think the excellent student to answer the question,so feeling shy will be normal under this environment.However in the American, as far as i known. the children are encouraged to ask teacher questions, and everyone can has his or her own different opinion. At this point, i think that the asian student will make the americans good example, and don't afraid to make mistakens.
Hi,
First of all, Thank you for this wonderful site!
I have been teaching English in Latin America for 12 years now and in my experience, I found that whether a student will act in a shy or outgoing way depends heavily on the teaching style.
When I first started teaching, I worked at a very traditional billingual school. There, students were expected to remain seated and silently listen to what the teacher had to say.
I never enjoyed teaching in such an strict environment because I have always considered that a language's sole purpose is communication!
So, I fled from such "learning institutions" and began working at more modern and conversational oriented places.
I can now say that the active and conversational approach instills in students a more participative approach.
So, my guess is that perhaps, the students you are talking about hail from a very formal and traditional background, whereas the latin american ones do not.
Maybe if you found some Asian students that came from a more participative background, you'd find they are just the same as the latin american ones.
Well, Those were my two cents. I hope it helps!
Thank you again!
In my opinion,the main cause of the students in Asian are shy in classroom is the teaching way teachers have.As we known,in the classroom,if someone makes noise when teacher is saying something,he will be the one who destorys the class rules,the teacher have to punish him in order to warn others not to do it again.so all the students dare not do it again.Actually,I think,in the classroom,their communication is most important than anything else,maybe teachers can change the way if possible.But I have a question,if students can say anything about the subject in the class,how do teachers control the discipline.?

I also think most Asian students are shy in class due to the teaching style of the Asian teachers.In some Asian countries,as I know,teachers behave very seriously and press a great a pressure to their students,so the students dare not to act actively in class ,they get used to sit silently during class.
I am from China.you said right,most of students are shy beacause of our culture,in my country many people respect teacher very much, talking aloud when teacher is teaching in the classroom is rude,and student will be punished.another reason is the classroom is too many students in many places,if students talk and students cann't hear what teacher says.so making rules is necesarry.
Not all Asian Students are shy.We cannot define a mass by binding them in a general impression.
There are many factors which effect a humanbeing- society,surrounding where he lives and grown up, culture,custums, religion...etc.
Shyness shouldnot be obstacle in reaching the possitive goals of life. Asian has been proving their abilities by establishing theirselves in each and every field. Isn't it remarkable?
hello.
i'm a teacher to be in Malaysia. in my view, students are shy because they are scared of the teacher. i'm saying this because, my lecturer taught us that, one of the most effective way in dealing with question is to toss the question back to the students.i think that is not a very good think to do,but i dare not to fight her. and now, i'm doing a research about this matter.i'f anyone have anything to share, please send me an email, safarnarzri@yahoo.com
i think that chinese students are shy because of culture.in class we just are taught that we should hew to line,it must be quiet in class.
I'm an Asian sutudent.I've moved to the U.S.A for 1 year. I'm really a shy student. My teacher try to make me be confident in front of class by giving the topics. These topics can make each student or each group of students to find information, discuss, talk and controvert. That is the way make me not to be shy when I talk in front of class more. Thanks
I think regional cultures and norms have much to do with shyness. Like in Pakistan, in ours region we do not get much opportunities to mixing upper class students. We have separate communities and friends in schools and colleagues. This matters a lot and especially when you come across people not from your type of class or community, shyness dominates.
I don't think so, all Asian students are shy, but if we consider their culture and customs, we can think that they are. The most of them probably are intelligent and have a hard felling to organazing any objects. To be shy is common for all students no only Asian students, a example is our first day at school... everybody are shy, me too.
well,
I think that shynees is mainly an acqiured character, however we can not deny the genetic effect, it also plays a role.
I think our main concern should be directed towards improving the way by which the students are tought and educated, by letting them express themselves and provides the motives for success and self confidence.
Thanks for offering the good website to learn english.
In my opnion,asian students are shy due to their learning enviroment and the way they learn. When they were a kid,parents and teachers told what is rihgt and what is wrong,and they always believe that and never have theirself thought. Because of the growing circumstance,asian students are always silent and shy to give their comments or questions.
that is not true. i have some chinese roommates in my English class and they are very brave and thy don't hesitate when they want to say any thing.
I think, it depend on the teacher. if the teacher is easygoing ,not only the emerican students but also the asian students will have a bravery to say any thing
i think shiness related to behaveour every person have its charcter in my school in past i suffer from shiness in many things even in doing my class work and feel afraid from my teacher infront of the students and until now i suffer from shiness in some sercumstances in my life
I think that most of my students are shy due to the Chinese traditional culture. I remember my parents just taught me not to talk too much. It meas to be silent or be shy is a good maner. All I have to do is listen carefully . And ,most important of all, no more questions and not to talk too much.
hellow all
I think that any student in a foreign place or country may be shay at first, may be it's also to the different in culture also, with time, help of teachers and friends, and parents, the things will be easier and the student will know how to accommodate with people around him
Many thanks for your useful site
well
im a vietnamese.i think it's easily to uderstand.the asian students must be familiar with a very different life,the life of europeans or american.another reason,maybe the culure,makes many asian students more shy,especially women.but american students have no difficulies to adopt,no strangeness like asian students do.and as i know, in general,americans are very active and confident.all above can explain why have difference between the classroom behavior of asian students and that of american students.
well,i think it's easily understanded.the asian students must be familiar with a very different life,the life of europeans or americans.the asian culture also make them more shy.but the americans students have no difficulties to adopt the new society,no strangenesses to get acquainted with.in other hand,as i know, americans generally are active and confident.there're some reasons to explain why have difference between the classroom behavior of asian students and that of american students.
This a excellent web site for me to practise and enhance my English!
I love it very much as it has different levels range from easy to very difficult for me to choose!!Thanks for your sharing!!
I think it contributes to the difference of the culture to a large extent. A saying in China goes that showing respect for teachers,attaching importance to education. When we step into the school, we learn to how to respect teachers firstly. It is our traditional education.
ok undoubtedly most of asian students are shy because of their culture backgroud. In china, people are educated by Confucianism all the time, therefoce, students in china do not like to show himself.
why are students shy in classroom?
Of course, students should be obey the classroom regulations in schools. As traditional teachers, they hope they are quiet in order to easily control their behaviours.
However, Active learning must come to more effective.
Students must be curious on learning. If they have any questions, they must bravely ask to teachers. But if you keep quiet, how can teachers know what they need?
Besides, being active in different learning opportunities can geat more you expect. For example, on the lessons, teachers may organize some activities such debates, presentations, discussions and games. I want to ask students if you are shy, how can you enjoy and learn from above the activities?
I know many students are shy in front of teachers especially Asian students. Actually, spoon-fed education is a hibition for students. But I must say time is changing, being more outgoing and exploring more you expect!!!!!
Hi, this is Wonkyun from South Korea. Korean students appear to be shy because of the manner which lead them to listen carefully first. On the other hand, if Korean students in an ESL class, they seem to be shy due to their competence of speaking English. That's it. Thanks.
I think everybody are shy the first days (include me) at school, nobody know to someone, after a couple of days students are more friendly with his/her classmattes. But also I'm agree than asian people are shyer than american, latins o european people. Just for culture.

Hi, my name is Jemima and I´m Brazilian person. I´m English teacher and I like this site so much, because Iimprove my listen and my pronunciation and I learn many words. Ranball´s ESL Blog is very very and very important for English student.
hello.....
ithink it strongly related to the nature of the kid(the enviroment that kid grow up in it). all these behaviour whether its shy or not its temporary.
Well I think that some people are born shy while others become shy. I also think that teachers should talk to their students more and make them feel more welcomed that way they won't feel that shy around other people.
well,I think not all Asian students are shy.Their behavior in class is related to the family backgroud and nation's education system.When they were born, most Asian children were told to respect their seniority and their teacher.When they go to school, they were told to study hard,or will lead a bad life,so they spend more time on listening and getting high scores,in order to obtain a chance to famous universty and well-paid job.
Hi
This is Engrl moon from Jordan.
I think mosy student in the first time be shy when they atened to anew clas room.
and its normal behave , then by the time the start to used the sitution and live they shy fall away.
for sure,cultures &background can affect students behaviour in classes&it needs effort to break the ice and help some shy students to start giving opinoins and be positive in classes.But,not all active students are rude because they express themselves in bad way they only need to express their cerativity politely
I think the answer is given in the question: Asian students with a different cultural beckground and therefore different educational system are shyer because they have come from a different culture and different educational system.
This doesn`t mean that their education is less effective or they are gaining less knowledge during their study.
well my little bit opinion is asian student was sometimes has lost there interest because of there culture they shy to show there ability to exercise there talent in english accent express it in there friends or to the person sorround them,but probably asian student have legitimate to improve faster to develope there english weakly.
I think that students are shy because of their parent.
i'm Asian i was shy, cuz i didn't know english well. I was shy, I scared to make mistakes while talking, and i don't talk much. But now i'm not and i learnt that talking is the best way to leant language.. Therefore, i think that many Asian shy of not making mistakes while speaking at class or somewhere else.
P.S. Asians and everybody don't be a shy, don't afraid that u will make mistakes while talking.
In my country,iran,student in the past was shy.actually ,they wanted to respect their teacher,and also they were sacared of their teacher.However,these days,the roles are changed.teachers have to respect their students.students are too rude.They blurt out their answers or questions when their teacher speaks.I am agree with non of these.I think we should be more moderate.
I'm just Asian student.And 2 months ago,I came UK and started to study.
From before I came here, I've heard Asian student tend to be shy.
I think that is cultual reasen.
First of all ,in some Asian country,they regard modesty as virtue.
In addition ,at school,in most class, student have only to listen to teacher's lecture.
But in Europe or USA ,it seems to make much of discussing actively.
So I think Asian student looks be shy.It's cannot help.
I am a chinese student.In my opnion,not all the chinese born to
be shy,but why chinese people are described to be shy.For my own experience,I think it is mainly originated from the chinese culture and the traditional teaching way.
First,china regardes modesty as a good spirit,and the show-off way is considered to be arrogant.The
idea has been past for thousands of years.There are some great ancesters like conficious and laozi.so the idea contributes a lot to the shyness.second,as a young kid,i remembered the classes were centered on the teacher.Teachers spoke a lot but we just listened to what they said,so we became passive .now most the lessons has changed alot,the students
participate in the activites and they like to express their own ideas.we call this students-centered curriculum.and at last,most students behave shy because they are afraid to make mistakes and they are afraid to be laughed at. I'd say don't be terrified to lose face.just do it regardless of the bad comments.
In a word, we should generate some good tradition values as well as let the world hear our voices.

Hi, I think this happen for first time, But a student will been better if teacher try to ask him more.
Hello. I am not an Asian student but I shy sometimes. Maybe because of my level of English which is not very high. I think all students in a group and a teacher should be more considerate for shy students. Thank you.
the teachers should to conseder that in every person is a diferent personality, like introverts, extrovert, talkatie or shy, just the key is in the teaching method.
I think the educational background makes students ' performances different.And the educational background is highly related to country cultures.Asian staudents are always tought to follow the rules that their elders have had set,and their cultures are more conservative than westerns;on the other hand,western stutends are encouraged to express their opinions since their childhood,also,their education situation puts a lot on enlightment,both of which are differ to Asians.That's why I think educational environment makes a big influence in the two type of students.
i dont think asian peoples are naturally shy. it's just because their habbitualy in their own country. beside that it can be caused because they think they dont have to talk to other people that is useless. and ofcourse the educational backround related to this problem. it depends on the how the teacher teach.
thank you for this service
first of all i want to thank you about that wonderful site and i want all of you to know that my English isn't good and I'm trying to learn the language from you.
and about the topic i think that the school and the home have a very big role in the students behavior not the nationality.
Yes,most of Asian students show shy in class,just as they are in pulic.I think the main reason is Asian culture. But with internationalizing,the communication chance is becoming more,Asian students can show their own opinon with no shy in public,
I strongly bleive that.
I think you shouldn't shy. It is very important that a student understand the necessaty of studying. Then he will not shy.
I think that very strong opnion about asian students and their behavior.Westren comunities are very open compare with asian comunities ,so that show big effects on young growing and treatement .
In my opinion, Asian students are not shy even they are bold in every field but one thing is crystal clear that you will find shyness in Asian students where they don't understand english very well but there medium of instrucion is english there Asian students feel shyness, in this situation mostly students quit the school because they considered that we can't give pay attention on our studies. According to my opinion, Asian students don't consider such like that American students are rude even Asian students are told by foreigners that there study is easy than Asia. Asian students have good feelings about American students and community. I belong to Pakistan and trying to learn english from ESL lab. This is my personal experience comments.
First of all i'm thanking for this site that helps for the esl students.
as a asian student my opinion is not all the asian students are shy.but when compared to the americans these have much.THE reasons are the culture,teaching methods and the important one is feels that others are better to them in all the ways.This keeps them shy.when realiases that he is best of all then tries to expose himself.
And one more thing is in all the ways america is developed more than asian countries. so the people also much close to the fact.so finally what i'm dropping is environments makes the people .
i think shy is cause by educational background
I think it is related to the personality or character of a person why a person looks like very shy.a person who feel shy in the chass maybe have outgoing personality in life.if an Asian student study in anmerica,he have a shy personality becasue of the unfamilar culture and language.there are so many reasons,we can't justice sb by one side.
In my opinion, the teacher or the subject could cause the shy. In addition of that the student characteristic could caused the shy. I think it’s a common feeling whatever the nationality. Any way the shy is not an issue. The big issue, when we contribute to cause the shy or when you don’t support the shy people.
I think that it depends on the educational background and many times teachers make students feel shy and insecure.

I think it's changed by background how someone was grown up. It could be a very bad habit for student. But most of students don't think about it seriously. Students have to try for getting more chance to speech in their class.
Shy is not relate to area and nation.It's only a sensibility,a character of people on the earth.
I think most Japanese students are shy, but students in other countries, for example, Korean and Chinese are not shy. Maybe Japanese education system makes us shy.
i think it depends on lot of things such as people`s character,educational background or teachers ability.because i think teacher is very important people to how students behave in the future.if some students are very shy teacher must concentrate on them and think up some ideas to improve them. especially the primary school teachers since children are learn things faster and better when they are younger.and parents have a lot duty too.they must take care about their children and must interact with their teachers.so they can know about their children`s bad side and good side.they have to consider about how they improve their children`s ability. i think especially Asian students are shy.because Asian educational background is not students centered so they don't talk much and afraid of it.
I really think that the shy in asian students is cultural , there aren`t like us because they grow up with other rules in a very different society but the culture define the kind of education they receive.
I'm Asian student.When I began to study in the UK I was shy,but now I'm not.The reason of our shyness might be the way which we are taught
Well, to be shy is relevant to both nature and culture. Some people may be shy because of their natures and I believe that education helps them improve their social skills. In order to do this, they should be forced by teachers to be more opened and active. Also some people may be shy because of their culture. As I know from my teachers from US, they told me that young people can not do anything by themselves in Asia. Because, their parents do everything what they need instead of them. As a result, children and teens do not try to be more active and open. And for instance it becomes hard for them to live in foreign countries at the beginning. In my opinion children and young people should be encouraged by their parents and teachers. They need their support to make sound decisions by themselves and to have self confidence.

In the past Asian students are almost shy based on their culture and tradition, but nowsadays they have a lot of self-confidence because of their ways of life and learning style had changed. Now, Asian and American students are alike.

well, i think that pepole are not equel in thier caracters . some of them shy , others are opened . there are many factors effect on pepole`s behaviors and thier habits.things like cultures , religions , traditional habits , and the person`s environment "as his home where he live , his parents .."
so , shyness is not a group attrebute or ethencity odor; it is just a personal characteristics.
Most of the Asian students are shy because of the educational and family background.In Asian countries teachers are the persons who should be respected as much as their parents.That means there will not be any friendly relationship.Folowing this proceedure they become shy.Remember, there are exceptions also.But this can be changed quickly if their parents or teachers try..and asia's students will become just superb
I Think that to many student are shy in the first class, because is a new experience, and fell that classmatter can be better, more if the classmatter are american people and we are latin.
Anyway, if the teacher is friendly and make feel good, the student, in short time, the student will feel not shy anymore.
i think that the school is a place to learn. the students have to take attention to the class and respect the teacher. in my country, most of the students does not have a good behavior in the classromm.
I don´t know about the asian students. In my country, i think that the student are shy in the first time, however, after, the students to be fell good and the teacher is very important in this process.
As we know that cultures in different countries are not the same, I think it is one of the major reasons of students having different study behaviour when having comparison between the countries. Someone is more encouraged and active in the discussion, but someone is just sitting in the class and just listen to what teacher says.
Teaching style can be one of the ways to help students be more active. If teacgers arange more interactive activities, such as presentation, Q&A and discussion, students can have more chance to get involve in the lessons. For my experience, I remember there is a bid arranged by my teacher. And that she wanted us to learn what is trade and the law of demand. =]
I am a Taiwanese. When I was a child, I was taught to respect my teachers and not to talk too much during class. My classmates and I were very silent in class. Afterwards, I find out most American students like to ask some questions when I see American films. Maybe this is because we grew up in conservative conditions. But we have improved this custom now.
hi there!
I would say that asian people look shy, although they are not, because being quiet is a matter of respect towards teaching and learning in their wise culture. That is something latinamerican students have not been able to understand...
